Experiencing God
Knowing and Doing the Will of God
Description: it's not about a method, a formula or a set of steps. To know and do God's will one needs to be rightly related to Him, to hear what He says, to know what He wants and to obey - as the clay responds to the potter. Only in that right relationship will God reveal His good and perfect will. The study deals with one's individual relationship with God and how one functions in the Body.

Men's Bible Studies
“BEING GOD’S MAN…
BY FINDING CONTENTMENT”
Men’s Bible study, “Band of Brother’s” are studying that a lasting contentment comes only from a transformation of your mind, emotions, and will. It also takes a personal encounter with the God who can make you content. In Being God’s Man…by Finding Contentment, you will track this struggle for a new identity through various Biblical passages. Just as Jacob, you will not be fully settled and content until you lay to rest your past and take up a new identity in Christ. Jacob became a new creature, a man on a mission for the Lord. His struggle was over. He knew why he was here and what he had to do. His life took on purpose and meaning that transcended the striving. Yours can too. We meet every Thursday at 6:30 in room 201. Hope you can join us.
